A supermarket close to where I work has a couple of blends for sale as whole beans (bag with one-way valve). One of them is “Lavazza Crema e Aroma“. I had noticed it a couple of times while shopping, but hadn’t tried it because it was expensive (179 kr/kg), but when Audun told me he [...]

Picture of prototype for new Rancilio Siliva model (as shown during a trade show in 2003). The best picture I’ve seen yet. I found it in a recent coffeegeek discussion forum thread. Temperato (norwegian distributor) posted a picture of it too in november 2003.
Personally I don’t like the look of it, but maybe it looks [...]

Cool, I just discovered that a dealer in Denmark sells the Imex CR-100 roaster! It looks like a nice roaster, but I’ve read some reviews where people have reported failing units. Personally I wouldn’t buy it without the possibility of getting a replacement unit if it fails. I’ve sent them an e-mail to enquire about postage, guarantee etc. [...]
